And there's not that much people making over 450! Threes just a handful that's all. If that.

Mods need to make a sticky of top 10 power makers. And top 10, 1/4 mile setters ad 1/8 mile setters. And ofcourse proof. And cars still gotta be running.

Does the Brod require notching of the block?? I know the K1 does not.

The K1s are an excellent rod for the $$. I have not seen a better rod for the amount of abuse it can take to the $$.

You can run either, they are all made in the same place then finished machined at their respective manufacturer. The K1's are a good bang for the buck. They and other rod manufacturers conservatively rate their rods at 150 whp per cylinder but you can take them higher. The real stress on a rod comes with RPM, and stress piles up around 8000 RPM as the bolts begin to stress. Most tC guys wouldn't be revving to 8k on a regular basis but so long as the bolts are lubed and torqued properly (stretch gauge) then you really shouldn't have any issues.

I dont own the car, So I'm not giving out the info. But its my best friends car. He like to stay under the radar. We just got it back up running last weekend. Snapped the axle at the hub launching it off the 2 step. So, were saving for some DSS axles and hopefully the track before this season is out.
